| /** |
| * <p> |
| * Maps a JavaBean property to XML IDREF. |
| * |
| * <p> |
| * To preserve referential integrity of an object graph across XML |
| * serialization followed by a XML deserialization, requires an object |
| * reference to be marshalled by reference or containment |
| * appropriately. Annotations <tt>@XmlID</tt> and <tt>@XmlIDREF</tt> |
| * together allow a customized mapping of a JavaBean property's |
| * type by containment or reference. |
| * |
| * <p><b>Usage</b> </p> |
| * The <tt>@XmlIDREF</tt> annotation can be used with the following |
| * program elements: |
| * <ul> |
| * <li> a JavaBean property </li> |
| * <li> non static, non transient field </li> |
| * </ul> |
| * |
| * <p>See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for |
| * additional common information.</p> |
| * |
| * <p> The usage is subject to the following constraints: |
| * <ul> |
| * |
| * <li> If the type of the field or property is a collection type, |
| * then the collection item type must contain a property or |
| * field annotated with <tt>@XmlID</tt>. </li> |
| * <li> If the field or property is single valued, then the type of |
| * the property or field must contain a property or field |
| * annotated with <tt>@XmlID</tt>. |
| * <p>Note: If the collection item type or the type of the |
| * property (for non collection type) is java.lang.Object, then |
| * the instance must contain a property/field annotated with |
| * <tt>@XmlID</tt> attribute. |
| * </li> |
| * <li> This annotation can be used with the following annotations: |
| * {@link XmlElement}, {@link XmlAttribute}, {@link XmlList}, |
| * and {@link XmlElements}.</li> |
| * |
| * </ul> |
| * <p><b>Example:</b> Map a JavaBean property to <tt>xs:IDREF</tt> |
| * (i.e. by reference rather than by containment)</p> |
| * <pre> |
| * |
| * //EXAMPLE: Code fragment |
| * public class Shipping { |
| * @XmlIDREF public Customer getCustomer(); |
| * public void setCustomer(Customer customer); |
| * .... |
| * } |
| * |
| * <!-- Example: XML Schema fragment --> |
| * <xs:complexType name="Shipping"> |
| * <xs:complexContent> |
| * <xs:sequence> |

| * .... |
| * </xs:sequence> |
| * </xs:complexContent> |
| * </xs:complexType> |
| * |
| * </pre> |
| * |
| * |
| * <p><b>Example 2: </b> The following is a complete example of |
| * containment versus reference. |

| * public void setCustomerID(String id); |
| * |
| * // .... other properties not shown |
| * } |
| * |
| * |
| * // By default, Invoice maps to a complex type <tt>xs:Invoice</tt> |
| * public class Invoice { |
| * |
| * // map by reference |
| * @XmlIDREF public Customer getCustomer(); |
| * public void setCustomer(Customer customer); |
| * |
| * // .... other properties not shown here |
| * } |

| * // By default, Shipping maps to complex type <tt>xs:Shipping</tt> |
| * public class Shipping { |

| * // map by reference |
| * @XmlIDREF public Customer getCustomer(); |
| * public void setCustomer(Customer customer); |

| * |
| * // at least one class must reference Customer by containment; |
| * // Customer instances won't be marshalled. |
| * @XmlElement(name="CustomerData") |
| * public class CustomerData { |
| * // map reference to Customer by containment by default. |
| * public Customer getCustomer(); |
| * |
| * // maps reference to Shipping by containment by default. |
